Let me start out by apologizing. Yes, Ragfist is threatening his kid sidekick with sodomy, and for that, I’m sorry. But you gotta admit, the phrase “hilt deep” is freakin’ hilarious. This joke, like the “Ball-Cupping” episode, was conceived of by my cousin Jack Lyons. There was a time when we’d watch episodes of Batman: [...]

True story. Alcohol has become a great way to deal with my social anxiety. ‘Course, I usually take it too far and wind up offending lesbians. (Sorry about that, Emily.) Anyway, I’d like to thank you for reading season three of Running on Empty. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed creating [...]

Have you ever seen your reflection in a dream? I did recently. I looked at a piece of tinted glass, and saw a silhouette. My hair was pushed up in the front, and for some reason, I had bandages on my face, visible in the dim light. As far back as I can remember, the [...]

This has to be one of my favorite comics this season. It perfectly balances my aggressive pessimism with my in-yer-face humor. That’s the value of the Dan character, in case you missed it; he’s three-dimensional, angry, frustrated, and profoundly morose. Because he knows that life sucks, and there’s nothing that’s going to change that fact. [...]

True story. I originally intended Mr. Dark to be one of my other characters in disguise, but then I thought it was too obvious, so I made him a separate character. Then I tried to define him as one thing, then another. Now he’s a complete unknown, but there are several interesting directions I have [...]

This comic began as an attempt to portray how females view me, as if I’m some partially deformed zombie with a look of fear bordering on malice on my face. When scripting this piece, I changed the dialogue to second person, since the narrator (Jake) is speaking to both Daniel and the audience. In speaking [...]

True story. This week’s comic is significant for a number of reasons. First off, it breaks the Jake-only streak that I’ve fallen into. It also features a return appearance of our MAIN CHARACTER (could’ve fooled me) who hasn’t been seen since he got all geared up to see the Hannah Montana movie. …And this marks [...]

You wake up and curse your parents for having the sex that created you. Choke down a stale breakfast, and spend the next hour and half stuck in traffic, wondering why THE FUCK the world didn’t end nine years ago. By the time you arrive at work, you check your hair in the rear view [...]

It’s the sound effect that really sells this one. Also, it occurs to me that most females might not catch this joke, since they’re unaware of the Two Shakes Rule. I’d explain it in greater detail, but I might end up offending the sensitive, GOD FEARING people in the audience. So the freelance projects that [...]

Computers are a lot like girlfriends: They waste yer time with mildly interesting fun facts, maybe tell you a story or two, and by night’s end, it’s your source for a halfway decent load-blow. Of course, they wind up screwing around behind yer back, getting viruses and other such bullshit, so WHO NEEDS ‘EM? Hey [...]
